(quick compression strokes, in most
cases when riding at higher speeds).

Center Spring
Center spring preload has an effect on
steering effort, handling and bump ab-
sorption.
Also, since center spring preload ad-
justment puts more or less pressure
on the front of the track, it has an ef-
fect on the performance in deep snow.
ACTION RESULT
Lighter steering
More bump absorption
capability
Better deep snow starts
Increasing
preload
Better deep snow
performance and
handling
Heavier steering
Less bump absorption
capability Decreasing
preload
Better trail handling
